Hey Greg, thank you for the reassurance about choosing a Mondeo, much appreciated and I certainly hope you are 100% correct.
So far more than happy overall, but a different experience having not owned a diesel before, but getting the hang of driving it differently to petrol cars.
Was super unhappy driving it back from the freight depot, thinking, I hope there is something wrong with this that can be fixed.
Started with a wheel balance rotation and alignment, and it was way out, and then drove like a whole different car all together so much happier, and thoroughly surprised at the difference.
Now need to do some additional research to improve the headlights with new bulbs, replace the blown left rear fog light, fix the squeak from the door seals when backing out of the driveway with the twisting, (75% better since trying the AutoGlym vinyl and rubber conditioner fix: thanks google), and get the 60k service done and then look out Elon, will have a rocket of my own.
Thanks again Greg and happy carefree motoring to you.
Regards
Footrot
